  • Abstract
    Earthquake detection has been a major focus of the research community for a long period of time. However, such a long-time effort is yet to devise an early earthquake detection system. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new method for early detection of earthquakes using the notion of quantum computing. To do so, we theorize a method for observing instantaneous changes in the gravity field of earth through monitoring the effect of the change on a pair of entangled photons. Here, one of the photons is situated in an earthquake-prone area and the other one is at a satellite orbiting the earth. Using the notion of quantum computing, our method can detect the slightest change in the gravity field of the particular place. Subsequent analysis of the change can early detect an upcoming large earthquake with sufficient precision. We formulate a mathematical model pertinent for our proposed method. Subsequently, we perform a numerical simulation based on the formulated model. Simulation results demonstrate the capability of our method in early detection of earthquakes.
